Date : 20 Oct 2010
Venue : Republic Polytechnic, Agora Hall 1
Time : 8.30am to 5pm
Brace yourself for an exciting GPS and Nerf gun shoot-out competition. A multi-millionaire has engaged a geocacher to hide all his treasures on an island. The GPS locations with the longitude and latitude of his treasures were published onto the multi-millionaire’s blog and he challenged other geocachers to hunt for his treasure. The winner will take home some of his treasure! Competition participants will be equipped with Nerf guns and an exciting array of GPS equipment to collect as many treasures as possible as indicated by the locations given. Are you up to the challenge to navigate through unknown territories to complete the mission in the shortest time? Be ready for an exciting day of fun using GPS and Nerf guns to uncover the hidden treasures. The champion team will be the team to locate the largest quantity of treasures from locations assigned, in the shortest time.
Despite 20 October 2010 being the school's Promotion Day (which they do not have to report to school), the pupils had a fun day at RP with the GPS Shootout Game. Now that they know how to use the GPS to locate the checkpoint, they are very interested to participate in this event again next year. Well Done!
